# Type Alias: Options

> **Options** = `object`

Defined in: [packages/core/src/options.ts:8](https://github.com/laruss/react-text-game/blob/37ebb1fd49045bfbb1d2a2fa96b8f14a2f8c2644/packages/core/src/options.ts#L8)

## Properties

### author

> **author**: `string`

Defined in: [packages/core/src/options.ts:41](https://github.com/laruss/react-text-game/blob/37ebb1fd49045bfbb1d2a2fa96b8f14a2f8c2644/packages/core/src/options.ts#L41)

### clock

> **clock**: `ClockOptions`

Defined in: [packages/core/src/options.ts:60](https://github.com/laruss/react-text-game/blob/37ebb1fd49045bfbb1d2a2fa96b8f14a2f8c2644/packages/core/src/options.ts#L60)

Configuration for the in-fiction game clock.

#### Remarks

Defaults to a manual clock starting at a fixed fictional timestamp, so
game time never depends on when the game was played. Read the resolved
values through `Clock` from `@react-text-game/core/clock`.

#### Example

```typescript
await Game.init({
  gameName: 'My Game',
  clock: { startAt: Date.UTC(2031, 4, 12, 8, 30), mode: 'realtime', scale: 60 },
});
```

Initial state of the game entities.
Use this prop to override default entity values for debugging or testing.

Only supports game entity paths (e.g., { "player": { health: 50 } }).
System paths and unknown entities will be ignored.
Arrays will be replaced, not merged.

#### Example

```typescript
await Game.init({
  gameName: 'My Game',
  initialState: {
    player: { health: 50, name: 'TestPlayer' },
    inventory: { gold: 1000, items: ['sword', 'shield'] }

Id of the passage the game opens on.

resolved to its id before the options are stored.
